Topography-Induced Stationary Waves and the Onset of Nightside Warming on Rocky Planets around M-dwarf Stars
Howard Chen, Aida Ildirimzade, Evelyn Macdonald
Among potentially habitable worlds, rocky planets orbiting M dwarfs offer the most favorable prospects for atmospheric characterization, yet their climates may differ substantially…
An Adolescent and Near-Resonant Planetary System Near the End of Photoevaporation
Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +28
Young exoplanets provide vital insights into the early dynamical and atmospheric evolution of planetary systems. Many multi-planet systems younger than 100 Myr exhibit mean-motion…
What's Inside Matters: The Effect of Oxygen Fugacity and Initial Volatile Abundance on the Atmospheres of the TRAPPIST-1 Planets
Junellie Perez, Laura K. Schaefer, Edward Schwieterman +3
The TRAPPIST-1 planets have become prime targets for studying the atmospheric and geophysical properties of planets around M-dwarf stars. To effectively identify their atmospheric…
Born Dry or Born Wet? A Palette of Water Growth Histories in TRAPPIST-1 Analogs and Compact Planetary Systems
Howard Chen, Matthew S. Clement, Le-Chris Wang +1
It is still unclear whether exoplanets in compact multiplanet systems such as TRAPPIST-1 are able to accrete large quantities of volatiles, grow to sufficient mass, and maintain ro…
Effects of transient stellar emissions on planetary climates of tidally-locked exo-earths
Howard Chen, Paolo De Luca, Assaf Hochman +1
Space weather in exoplanetary systems, driven by transient stellar emissions such as flares, coronal mass ejections, and stellar proton events, can significantly influence planetar…
